Lawsuits help guarantee drug safety, doctors say

Well, the pot is calling the kettle black. Remember that it is the "influential medical journals" that IMHO support executioner medicine. Here is one example.

"Top doctors at the helm of one of the nation's most influential medical journals are giving the Supreme Court some unsolicited legal advice about a major case.

The Food and Drug Administration 'is in no position' to guarantee drug safety, the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine said in a friend-of-the-court brief. Lawsuits can serve as 'a vital deterrent' and protect consumers if drug companies don't disclose risks...

Although the FDA is often called 'the gold standard' in drug evaluation, the journal editors urged the justices to be skeptical."

BTW, still think there is a safe drug or surgery for your overweight/obesity? There isn't. They are neither safe, nor indicated. Sue the docs just as they are requesting you to in this move before the Supreme Court.

An important aspect of this action by Big Sick Care is the clear admission that the drugs they push are really uncertain quantities.

They simply do not know what the effects will be (to wit, drug recalls and labeling changes) or whether the testing of the drugs was properly conducted and truthfully disclosed.

There is a stark reality here.

When it comes to sick care, it is impossible to know certain things and at some very real level you have to submit to faith, despite the fact that these disingenuous docs are attempting to shift blame:

"'The (court) system represents one of the key defense mechanisms that individuals have if a manufacturer has not made the risks of a product clear to the public.'"

(Isn't it your doctor who should make "the risks of a product clear to" you, the patient?)

This will never be eradicated from the system of Big Sick Care. (Neither will the finger-pointing, such as this case demonstrates.)

Nor will it be eradicated from the clearly faith-based complementary/alternative care system.

And it is absolute s**t to think that "lawsuits will guarantee drug safety."

The best for which one can hope is that lawsuits will lessen the likelihood of some foreseeable untoward consequences of drugs released into the stream of commerce from occurring.

Nothing will ever "guarantee drug safety."

Nothing.

It should be obvious that the best approach is to minimize your likelihood of entering the sick care system.

The only tool available to you that gives you the odds up on Big Sick Care is fitness.

When you are ready to take control, go here.

And when you are ready to sue them, just as they are requesting, for the malpractices known as bariatric surgery and diet pills, go here.
